Resurfacing to say Eid Mubarak y'all!

Eid Mubarak Everybody! I have an apology to make for having
vanished from this blog for just over a month without having kept my promises
to post Ramadan recipes. In honest truth I underestimated the toll that fasting
for an entire month takes, Ramadan in the UK was particularly difficult because
there was only a 3 hour interval between sunset and sunrise which meant that I
trudged around lifeless throughout the day. There is also of course the
complication that arises when your designated photographer is 6000
miles away meaning that your blogging schedule has to coincide with your
friends' free time!

Nevertheless I have returned with a new outfit and a bit of
banter. Despite the past month having been lethargic and extremely unproductive
I’ve drawn out a plan to make the most of this summer and to remain as active
as I possibly can. From next week onwards I will hopefully be commencing with
my internship at a laboratory that specialises in proteins (I won’t elaborate
as I fear my enthusiasm may result in me droning on about it and bore you guys
to death), I have purchased a tonne of books to compensate for having put my
bookworm habits on snooze mode; currently reading ‘We are our brains: From the
womb to Alzheimer’s’ by Dick Swaab - highly highly recommend this to fellow
bookworms who want a bitesized amount of information on everything that
constitutes us as humans from a physiological point of view. I may also be
guilty of having gone on a feverent shopping spree; my arrival having been
welcomed with all the shops announcing their sales (or so I’d like to have
myself believe) so there will be an abundance of outfit posts! I may also have
a couple of other projects up my sleeve this summer but I won’t discuss those
just yet in case they don’t materialise! What will you guys be up to this summer?!

Yesterday was Eid, which marks the end of a months’ worth of
fasting in the month of Ramadan! With Papa Soydemir not being with us to share
the joy, we decided to do something a little different for Eid…. We all pulled
on a dozen layers, comfy shoes, hopped into the car and drove to Alton Towers! Alton
Towers, for those of you who are clueless, is a ginormous theme park right in
the heart of Staffordshire. We forced my mum to board the children’s
roller-coaster, got absolutely drenched on the river rapids ride and my brother
lost a tonne of his Eid money to the deceptive game stalls (a fool and his
money are easily parted). All in all it was a memory we will all cherish and
look back on fondly.

Thank you dearest Andini, I need all the luck I can get, I'm so very excited to start the Internship! Awww stop it, you're making me blush! Baby blue and pastel yellow, together are my favourite duo! <3

Happy Eid (I'm late I know...)!! Sounds like you had a great time!I, like all else, love the yellow and blue together. It's one of my favourite colour combos anyway (being a Swede and all...), but these shades are just so right together! You look beautiful as always. And that cardi is really cute!I would love to hear more about your internship! Proteins! Yay! Any particular one?Have a great weekend my darling!Much love,Mona

Not at all Mona darling, it always means so much to me when you take the time to write! Ditto, haha you don't need to be a Swede to adore the two colours though, they look awesome together! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! Haha you're just the person to converse with about proteins! I'm not entirely sure just yet, but my role is the run of the mill protein purification, quantification and analysis! I'll let you know if anything particularly interesting occurs! Have a lovely weekend dearest Mona!

About myself

Hi there! I'm Sumeyye, a student residing in the cobbler filled streets of Istanbul. I created this cosy corner of the blogosphere for fellow vintagonista's who share my love for vintage style combo's, hankering after books and gallivanting around on excursions whenever the opportunity arises. So make yourselves a cup of brew and join me ♥
